***Official Olympics Discussion***

[Mr Janny]

France has a decent little team.

I heard an interesting stat today. During the original Dream Team's Olympic run, they face a total of 5 active NBA players on the teams that they played. The 2012 squad just played France, a team with 5 active NBA players on its roster alone.

Not saying that the 2012 squad is better, just a comment on how much better the overall competition is these days. It's a testament to the increased popularity of the sport.

Might be something to do with the fact the London doesn't have summer weather so they don't want to wear bikinis. But it looked like some were wearing them when they showed some clips

WHA??? NO!!!!

Not exactly what I thought but still new rules.

Both the US teams played with long sleeve tops and several teams have played in full body suits. Takes all the enjoyment out of it.

The next olympics are in Rio so fortunately it should all be live.

I hate this delay. I already know how all these events are going to go.

Here is a thought- try to stay away from news that involve the results. Online, tv, whatever it may be- DONT WATCH IT!
